Billion dollars ideas that don't make sense not existing

I will never understand how Nintendo and Game Freak never released a "Pokemon Crossing" game.

They could literally just reskin the villagers as Pokemons and that would be enough and would easily sell 1 gazillion dollars.

    I had the same idea, but it was crossover between Nintendo and Illusion to make a Rapelay x Pokemon game. They could literally just reskin Manaka, Yuko, and Aoi as ten-year-old pokegirls and that would be enough and would easily sell 1 gazillion trillion billion dollars.

      For me, it'd be Corruption of Champions x Pokemon. You can put in whoever the frick you want and it'd still sell.

    >Why won't gamefreak release a game that goes against their tried and true formula

    Because whenever they do this, it is the worst selling game in the franchise.
    They should let someone like tencent use the license to make one for mobile.

      ??? anon, gamefreak has released pokemon puzzle, mobile, moba, AR, rpg, vn, adventure, fighting game, photographer simulator, hey you pikachu... and so on.

      >I will never understand how Nintendo and Game Freak never released a "Pokemon Crossing" game.
      Why would they do that? Then you wouldn't need to buy 2 different games anon. Nintendo is a business, they like money.

        and if they combine both IPs into one they only have one product to sell instead of two, do you not understand?

        they want you to buy AC for $60 and Pokemon for $60, $120 total
        they don't want to sell you AC:Pokemon Edition for $60, it doesn't make sense financially

          homie, who said to combine both IPs. are you deranged? How the frick do you even come up with this conclusion?
          >what if we released a fighting game that is a crossover between every major Nintendo IP?
          >HUR, THAT MEANS YOU GONNA STOP MAKING MEHRIOS AND ZEUDAS?

          A spin-off, moron! It could even be a DLC if they were too lazy to come up with AC with a Pokemon spin in every mechanic.

                ignorance is bliss, but that's not how the real world of business works, it's much more complicated than simply making product that you "know" will sell

                if product is too good, why upgrade? why by version 2? single moms with 3 kids can only afford so many games per year, combining 2 IPs into a single package is shooting yourself in the foot

                Do you live in the third world? People with money consume. And the people that are into AC and Pokemon don't care about other video games, they will gladly spend their money on every new piece of shit the company releases.

                That is why from every single Nintendo mobile games, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is still getting new content (and that gatcha fire emblem). Even their Mobile Mario Kart was dropped.

                You talk a lot of shit for someone so clueless. Other anons came to a much simpler conclusion, the Gamefreak problem.

    execution matters, you can't just shit out a game as polished as AC. game freak in particular don't work to make quality products but to shit out acceptable games on a schedule.
    they'd have to outsource it which presents dangers of its own

      Wut? I thought the main reason Gamefreak never did the dream "all regions mmo rpg" it's because it would massively overshadow their main series.

        Yeah, exactly. If people could just take the Pokemon IP and make their own games Gamefreak would literally fricking die, but the way things are right now they can keep producing slop and make billions while sueing anyone that makes a better Pokemon product. Shit like PokeMMO or Pokemon Revolution Online would be massively popular with real full-time devs and actual money behind it.

          and yet didn't sell nearly as much as one of those lazy remakes on Switch. I feel for Pokemon fans who care about the games, it appears that the vast majority don't care at all.

    Classic Mega Man fighting game in the style of MvC with all the robot masters. There are some small MUGEN-based projects that attempt this on a tiny scale already but I want to see them all in UMvC3's style especially.

      I will never get why Megaman was basically dead at the SNES. My first guess was not transitioning to 3D, but Kirby exists.

      Megaman had everything to be Capcom's Mario/Sonic.

        my guess would be capcom got the idea that they should reboot the series every generation with a few games from past iterations splashed out
        NES had the OG
        SNES had some OG games too but it was clear they wanted X to be the flagship
        things sorta slowed down in N64/PS1 but i guess transitioning to 3d and also making games for the Gameboy spread Capcom a little thin during this period. But Legends was a thing
        GBA had Battle Network AND the Zero games, and even some spin-offs of OG and X and there were X games on the PS2
        DS had Star Force and the ZX games and the later OG games and even Powered Up on the PSP

        i guess things slowed down now and it's kind of a shame we never got a flagship reboot on the 3DS or on the Switch now but Megaman fans are always acting like the series got less attention than it really did

    pokemon aren't supposed to be villagers, they're not people with animal bodies. They're monsters and thus a comfy pokemon game should try to take inaccount how raising pokemon is thought to work in universe
    so it could have animal crossing dna in it but needs to really be its own thing and make you feel like a pokemon rancher, breeder, professor or trainer on their off time

      I've been playing AC and I noticed that the whole world is about a Japanese child living in a city of animals, you fish and catch bugs as a way to earn money to play dollhouse with their friendly animal neighbors.

      I think "Pokemon Crossing" would be in the same vein, no battles. Pokemon wouldn't be pets but equals, and you wouldn't play as a trainer but one of those child Pokemon fans that wear Evee costumes.

      You would think indie devs would’ve made a billion clones of FTL and Into the Breach by now but somehow they haven’t.

      FTL is not a billion-dollar idea, anon. Binding of Isaac is, and has a billion clones.

          Anon, do you live in a bubble? As much as I like FTL, the game is niche, it isn't easy to pick and play and the creators moved on.

          Binding of Isaac got a remake, 3 DLCs, and a card game, and is still being updated to this day.

        I understood what you meant by Pokemon Crossing, I just think it'd be redundant and if we'd get a comfy Pokemon game the mons should be treated like how we think of them in the universe, not just people with pokemon heads
